Yeah, doesn’t seem like I’ll get to play tonight. How doesn’t IO predict stuff like this in advance lol.

I don’t think it’s as simply as predicting, World of Warcraft have had 7 expansions. It’s first recently they been able to “meet” demand. The overall server stress will be a lot higher on launch day, then compared to the rest of the games life time. With the game literally being impossible to play and with 3-4 hours que times on their servers.

That said that doesn’t mean it ins’t annoying.

Small company, with everyone working to the max for successful launch of polished product.

Christian Elverdam said that creating Hitman 3 where all three games, and more than 20+ maps in the trilogy could be ported together in a final product would be a nightmare for any company to attempt.

So yes, IOI knew it was going to be a nightmare.

My response was flagged – Acknowledgement of big things going on today, notably a big thing airlifted Southward. Will this be flagged? :flushed:

I admire IO a lot, they gave us Hitman anyway, and I know they had financial problems. But stop saying (not just you) this ridiculous thing that “IO is small”, “IO has no money”. You shouldn’t compare them with something like Ubisoft or Rockstar. That way, they would look small and in lack of money. compare them to them. Look at their growth.

You Guys saw that you can now unlock the ET Suits via ingame challenges? Thats what I’m doing right now, having a blast with the “new” legacy maps.

Absolutely true.

But I think it should be noted that behind the curtain in dealing with issues is not a lot of people.

IOI is ~200.

Now this is a lot compared to Supergiantgames = ~ a dozen, and they published what many thought was GOTY in Hades.

Hell, Lucas Pope publisher of Obra Dinn = 1.

But some video game companies have 200 just in marketing alone.

I was at the point where I should have chosen my target account but I got an error.
Still better than before though. And my accounts are recognized properly.

Neat!

server is down now, is something happening?

edit: might just been me

Of course. But network and server workers are not a lot comparing to development and sales anywhere.

Those like Ubisoft. With all the power and people, They release bad stuff now and then, and you can find good stuff sometimes. If you’ve seen the series “Silicon Valley”, comparing IO with Ubisoft is like comparing Pied Piper to Hooli. IO has less power and credit, but makes games that are one of a kind.

Ubisoft has great trailers with sucking games, but IO has great trailers with even greater games.

I just got the progression to carry over for Xbox. Took a few tries, but it eventually went through. Just unlocked a bunch of Achievements when I started the game for the first time.

Keep things in perspective. Yes, it’s inconvenient, but it’s not something they did deliberately. There’s no need to disparage the hard-working people at IOI. They love Hitman too, and they’re quite aware of the fanbase affection for the franchise. I’m sure they knew this progression carryover process would be difficult and they’re doing what they can to fix it.

It’s not the end of the world. Really, if this is the worst thing that happens to you this month then you’re going to have a pretty good month.

AAAAAAA i got something else than 0 accounts :DDDD

1797

Can you do it before you even start the game?

I’m at work on my laptop here.

It’s been 6 hours since unlock and they still haven’t fixed an issue that should’ve been dealt with before launch. They could have easily put the goddamn site up sooner, but no. Here we are still waiting. We have a right to be annoyed about this shit show. Shouldn’t even need an IOI account. It’s all tied to GT anyway and should’ve been done in-game.

Hm, I’m not sure what suits or challenges you are referring to. I went through the in-game menu and the only ET suit I saw was the “Imperial Classic with Gloves”. Keep in mind I can’t view anything related to H2 because I’m on PC :grinning:

Now we know why the game didn’t come out at midnight

“If it was a midnight release, you’d have noone fixing it because we’d all be asleep. We’re just as eager to get it fixed and we’ll share an update as soon as we’ve got one.”
